They had a Undelete command going back to Dos 5.xx too I think, so it was more like 30+ years ago. Today Windows writes over drives so often (and for little to no reason) that undelete and unformat don’t yield great results. At least in a \*nix system you can turn it off, pull the drive, and recovery the files (tho, probably not make it boot again without reinstall)… Just Saying. ---

> [@Slappy\_Andven](#): > > Yeah, I get it… But I’m talking about him shooting himself in the foot, not something advanced, or you know, useful. That requires a real OS. 😉 MSDOS (which is the most popular) is a real OS, because its basically theftright of CP/M the dominant OS for home computer back in the 80s I don’t even remember the last time I used DOS. Not being able to recover accidentally deleted files is a terrible OS design flaw ---

You’re far more likely to be able to recover a deleted file on Linux than Windows. Look up ‘photorec’ and associated tools. I remember MSDOS - going back to 2.11. Do you? Also DR DOS and several others. I’ve been a sysadmin for 30 years. Take several seats. ---

Log in, launch game. Before character select, press ESC and go to settings, reset cache, restart. You may want to restart computer as well after this.
